Default karene - 5 compression fracture

Hi All, Three weeks ago I developed kyphosis, a curvature of the spine. I have 2 lumbar compression fractures and three thoracic fractures. My bones become very weak when I was given high doses of prednisone to combat a very bad case of skin graft vs. host (I had a bone marrow transplant in September for myelofibrosis). I am having a very hard time adjusting to my hunched back. I am not that old and was active (hiking, etc.) before this. Is there anyone else who has kyphosis and is there any hope of ever having it corrected or at least getting better? Thanks much........
